The debs are in debian/pool: you can get them by adding unstable to your apt sources list (apt-setup will do it fine for you).
I did it "by hand", because I didn't want to change my apt settings, the files I got are: libfreetype6_2.0.1-1.deb xserver-common_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xbase-clients_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xserver-xfree86_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xfree86-common_4.0.2-1_all.deb xterm_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xfs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xutils_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xlibs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xvfb_4.0.2-1_i386.deb I don't think that _all_ are necessary and I guess that you could add some more After you've dpkg-ed everything (or apt-ed), run xf86cfg or XF86Setup. They will probe and/or ask for your hardware and write the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. End of Plug, start of Play: I had some problems with that but it was because of the bloody nv/nvidia drivers that were rotten. I also had a problem that X4 didn't flush X3 correctly, so that startx was calling X3.3.6. Fixed it by symlinking /usr/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. It feels a bit dirty though. Anyway in case of problem, take a peek at /var/log/XFree86.?.log HTH Romain William Leese wrote: > > Hello all, > > does anyone know where i can apt-get Xfree 4.02?
